Despite reports that Phillip Phillips needs surgery immediately to treat his kidney, Phillips is gearing up to perform one more time tonight before the American Idol results show tomorrow. Phillips has been suffering from kidney stones this whole season and will not drop out to have the surgery his doctor is urging him to get. After getting this far, he is willing to endure one more night of pain and put up a last fight.


Phillips and rival Jessica Sanchez attended a press conference on Monday. Phillips admitted that he had been ill throughout the show but said, "I'm doing all right. It's almost over, so I'm excited", according to the Hollywood Reporter. He also revealed that he will be revealing a wardrobe change. "You might be intrigued. I might be looking a little sexy," he said.


Phillips had been sitting out of photo shoots due to his severe pain.


Phillip's family doctor urged him to have surgery right away when he visited his hometown in Georgia last weekend, but Phillips reportedly said he was not going to drop out of American Idol, according to TMZ. He was ordered to have surgery immediately after the finale.

While Phillips struggles with his health problems, Jessica Sanchez has had to give up going to the prom to be in tonight's finale. "Right now people my age are going to prom and getting ready for homecoming. I'm here performing in front of celebrities, singing with celebrities, singing in front of millions of people."
Sanchez, 16, is set to perform with original Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday on Wednesday night's finale.
Who do you think will win to American Idol tomorrow? If Sanchez wins, she will be crowned the youngest winner of the competition. But she is facing some serious competition with lady's man Phillips.
